Re: Joint Military Exercises: News & Discussion
Which I IAF aircraft is part of this, M-2000 I or Rafale- these are the 2 Aircraft from IAF fighter fleet that are part of the list, F-15, F-16, F-35 and Eurofighter Typhoons are also there, France is also the list, so I suspect France sent their Rafale while we sent a M-2000
Looks like M-2000 from FM Tweet

The Indian Army team was lauded on its navigation skills, delivery of patrol orders and overall endurance for completing the patrol, said a statement from the Indian high commission in London.
This year, only three international patrols out of the 96 participating teams were awarded a gold medal.

Re: Joint Military Exercises: News & Discussion
Interesting that the F-35s are carrying external pylon mounted missiles in this last exercise. I wonder what the protocol was during exercises conducted on prior days of Konkan Shakti? Did the F-35s have Luneberg lenses on those days because the earlier photographs show no external stores on the F-35s. Or is there any chance that they did some exercises with the F-35s in full stealth mode?Rakesh wrote:A second picture from the picture above...

I do know that when NATO F-35s respond during QRA missions over Europe they do have Luneberg lenses.
brar_w expert opinion?
Re: Joint Military Exercises: News & Discussion
UK and US jets generally carry an external AIM-9X, ASRAAM or captive rounds during training. Italians like to do DCA/AP and training without any external stores. Few others mix it up (or have done in recent photos) but generally carry 1 or 2 external weapons as part of training. When the block 3F F-35's receive their block-4 sidekick upgrades to the IWB (starting early 2023 IIRC), I suspect quite a few users will stop carrying external stores for air-policing or air-air training missions (barring the B variant which will not receive those upgrades to the bay).
Those UK aircraft can be seen with the luneberg lens which is a requirement for all peacetime flying outside of a select number of training ranges around the world.
